    Best to keep it all green IMO, anything else would look tacky. "Hibernian Football Club" up on the top next to where the flags would go might be an idea though

    It will probably spell "SIT DOWN IN FRONT, I CAN'T SEE THE GAME!!!"

    I noticed that, it made the ground look fuller than it was. We are a wee hobo team, so it might be worth thinking about.

    Words can't quite describe how much i hope hibs DONT write anything across the seats. Looks so dated and, well, a bit sheite. Much better IMO to go with the green seats.

    Don't think its a bad idea.

    This attached pic i took at Fortuna Dusseldorf's stadium. The stadium was built for the 2006 World cup and holds 52000.
    Fortuna Dusseldorf are a Bundesliga 2 team and have average attendances of around 20000 meaning its never any where near full.
    Also they have free trams which drive straight into the ground from the city centre.
    If you look close enough you can see the empty seat on the other side but it does look full.



    Might look **** in an otherwise green stadium though!

    I really like that. Modern football stadiums lack a bit of colour and character so anything a wee bit different is fine with me.

    Could be really clever and do the seats to look like the club badge.

    I don't want our ground to look like puke.

    Sod picking our colour scheme so the ground looks full when the seats are empty. Lets just go for the green seats and concentrate on filling them!

    Calm down, calm down.........I think most of these posts are in jest, we have no control over the seats, all a bit of fun.

    I have to say, this has been something that has always confused me. The only time it is really of any use is when the ground is empty when, for example, TV are doing pre-match reviews and then you really only get about 1 min of the whole thing. In an ideal world we would have enough fans inside the ground during a game to ensure that you never saw the writing therefore the object is to make sure you never see the writing.

    Therefore, a waste of money - in my opinion.

    It would look smart, if the new east had lettering on it. But after looking at a few pics of the new stand, really doubt that the stand will have any lettering on it.
